Back in the summer of 2017, Andrew and Chris had overlapping hang out time with a mutual friend (hey Chelsea Williams). Neither one made a move, but they continued to run into each other as the NYC theater audition circuit is a small community. The universe clearly had some say, and Chris and Andrew were both cast on the national tour of Rock of Ages in 2018, playing opposite as the comedic side plot of the show. It was just a matter of time, but Chris and Andrew started dating on the road and the rest began to fall into place. They continued to work together in theater and following the wild events of 2020, quarantined at their respective parent's homes in Wentzville, MO and Saratoga CA. Upon their return to NYC, they moved into their first apartment together in September 2020, all 475 square feet of it, and a cat wasn't long to follow. Jojo, the cutest and most anxious mackerel tabby in the country, was adopted on November 2nd, 2020, and he's been an integral member of the family ever since. Through career changes and navigating a global pandemic, it became clear these two were meant for each other, and Andrew proposed to Chris in Maui, HI at The Four Seasons resort on the Renalds Family vacation on June 6, 2021. It wasn't long for Chris to follow, when he proposed to Andrew at Ridge Winery up in the Santa Cruz mountains on December 28th. From shifting from performance to tech, to moving to Jersey City, Chris and Andrew had been craving a chance to experience more of the great outdoors, and more sunshine year round than what the East Coast offered. In August 2022, with Chris' parent's expertise, Chris and Andrew purchased their first home in Oakland and relocated to the Bay Area (Jojo in tow, of course!) to start a new adventure in Northern California. They are thrilled to have you join them at Thomas Fogarty Winery for their wedding. The venue is framed by vineyards of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with redwood trees appointing sweeping views of the Bay Area, their new home.
